The Appeal
Affectionately known as ‘Bee’ - it is gold and a MGB after all - this lovely classic has been in the car of its current enthusiast keeper for over 10 years. The attention shows, the car presenting in very good condition across the well kept panelwork and smart interior and reliable mechanicals.
It has been extensively restored, the work taking 12 months and covering every aspect of the car together with a raft of new fittings from suspension to engine ancillaries. The result is a car that is in very good condition and draws admiring glances wherever it goes.
The MGB is one of classic motoring’s easiest to own cars. They’re perfect for jumping in and enjoying and this one looks tempting.
